Video of 741 horsepower Audi RS3 hitting 234 miles per hour - Legit?

The video below of a 741 horsepower Audi RS3 in action shows absolutely bonkers acceleration all the way up to a very impressive 234 mile per hour top speed. That begs the question though of if the video is legitimate or staged. There are multiple camera angles showing the driver as well as the speedometer and tachometer but there is no external view. Due to the lack of a view showing the car actually doing the run some people are questioning the legitimacy.

The AudiBoost take is that the video is legitimate as one can see the outside through the drivers side window. The scenery sure moves by in a hurry and it looks like this guy is doing this in freezing conditions as well (due to the snow shown as well as temperature readout) making for quite a ballsy run.

There is a lot of those kind of straights on the autobahn if you don't count the slight curves it has. Plus did you notice the camera moving slightly towards the back of the car, there has to be a kind of force to have that happen. I'm still kinda ify about but it is plausible
